I would be very sad to lose services like ChatGPT. It has significantly improved my workflow by digesting and analyzing huge documents, and helping me to synthesize and respond better. May be I am part of a minority.
- raincole 6mo agoDon't worry lol. It's not going anywhere. The article is just ragebaitng. Verbatim: > Anthropic is already in a push to reduce costs and increase revenue Yeah, it's totally a bad sign when a company tries to... reduce costs and increase revenue.
- mattmanser 6mo agoTheir point is it is a bad sign at this stage in the game, there's a lot of competition still. Usually in a land grab like this you spend, spend, spend. Uber was still paying to subsidize customer's rides until fairly recently to kill off the competition.

- coder68 6mo agoThe good news is local models have significantly improved. If it all goes down today, you can still run e.g. Qwen 3.5 at home, and it's "good enough" for most workloads. With a gaming GPU you can run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B. I use 122B-A10B on my local rig (1x6000 Pro), and 397B-A17B on my 2x6000 Pro server (some spillover into CPU/RAM). It's pricey now but probably within a few years it'll become very affordable.
